Sketches from the week

Sketches from the week
the sketchbook at the end of the week

The sketchbook filled up fast this week. None of it was planned, which is usually a good sign.

I started with a fish meant to be a sticker sketch. It turned into something else β€” a more nervous line, more crosses, less control. I left it that way.

The other four came out the same evening. I do them without pencil underneath, straight in marker, otherwise I start fixing them and the whole thing is lost.

The cat

The cat is a separate story. I sat with the sketchbook for half an hour, she changed pose every thirty seconds. In the end I drew five different cats and none of them is her.

If your sketch looks finished, you have been drawing it too long.

Next week I move on to clean lines for the issue. These stay in the sketchbook, some might become stickers.

If you want to see the process live, I post most things to Instagram the same day.
